I'd fly to Denver and rent an RV if you don't want the drive all the way west. Then do a Colorado/Yellowstone trip.
I'm a firm believer that kids the age of yours should get to Yellowstone. Wild animals, geysers, hot springs, I still remember our trip to Yellowstone when I was around 10. Amazing experience. There's a reason it was the first national park in the world. But make your camping reservations early, once you have your schedule figured out to be sure you get a camping spot.

I have done three such drives to the Yellowstone area from California with my three kids, first trip they were 5/8/10 and 10/13/15 on the final trip. Was the 5 of us in a 24'C, by choice. And we aren't talking small people, my youngest is now 6'5", and his parents average 6'. But we had been tent camping in the years prior, so a 24'C is a huge upgrade.
If your children enjoy the outdoors, then Colorado, Wyoming, Montana are perfect. My youngest still misses going on trips like that.
Other good fly in cities would be Salt Lake City, or even Bozeman.
